''MANI RATNAM SIR WAS VERY GLAD THAT I AM DOING FILMS AND FOLLOWING MY PASSION''

Actress Shraddha Srinath, whose career shot high up owing to her performance in the critically acclaimed Kannada hit film, U-Turn, is now awaiting the release of her second Tamil film, Ivan Thanthiran. Shraddha made her Kollywood debut with a cameo in Mani Ratnam's Kaatru Veliyidai, and she is also playing an important character in Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi's Vikram Vedha.

In an exclusive interview with Behindwoods, when asked about her most memorable moment at the Kaatru Veliyidai sets, she said, ''I had a very beautiful conversation with Mani sir. That is one story that I tell everybody. He asked me what I have studied and stuff like that and I said I've studied Law for 5 years. He said that it is good to have a strong educational background; it's good to have something to fall back on in case of any problems, but he was very glad that I am doing films and following my passion.''

Ivan Thanthiran, directed by R Kannan, stars Gautham Karthik in the lead role and is all set to release on 30th June.
